private view: Friday, 06. 02. 2009, 6-9pm Durationr: 06.02 -21.02.2009 ANONYME ZEICHNER (Anonymous drawers) is an artproject initiated by Anke Becker. Under the pseudonym bluetenweiss, 9 exhibition in changing institutions took place since 2006. Now the ANONYME ZEICHNER are having their first show at a gallery. Like this, the project enters the territory of the art market, which it has been critically questioned so far. The general exhibition preparation starts with an international call to participate on the Internet. No demands are being made; age, biography or heritage of the originator do not play any role. From the aproximately 1500 transmittals, a selection of works is chosen by bluetenweiss. Through these exhibitions since 2006, an archive of around 500 selected drawings is arisen. In the exhibition ANONYME ZEICHNER archive selection 2009, a selection of 100 anonymous drawings from this archive will be shown. The exhibioned drawings are for sale for a symbolic unity price of 200 . The artists will receive an amount of 100 and the other 100 will go to the gallery fruehsorge contemporary drawings and bluetenweiss to realise further exhibitions and projects. The given price should not be seen as a real market price, but as a placeholder for any conceivable amount of money. Because the works are from both established artists and laymen, it is expected from the viewer to draw his own line between art and not-art. Common, art specific mechanisms like the importance of an artists` ego, price formation or prepared qualities which can be refered to a specific art context, should be reversed in this exhibition in an experimental way: the artists engage themselves to put their own person into the background for the benefit of the actual product, their artistic work. Bluetenweiss will publish a catalogue for the exhibition with anonymous selected black and white images in a limited edition. It can be purchased for the amount of 10 during the exhibition or it can be ordered at the homepage of bluetenweiss: www.bluetenweiss-berlin.de
